Biography:
Tom Robinson (b. 1st June 1950) is an English musician.
Born in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, Robinson was the founding member of the Tom Robinson Band, an overtly political band with several hits in the 1970s, such as "2-4-6-8 Motorway" and "Power in the Darkness". Robinson's other best known song is "Glad to be Gay", and he was an outspoken hero of the gay movement in the 1970s.
In the 1980s he fronted Sector 27, another highly political rock band, which released one album and left Robinson virtually bankrupt.

Tom Robinson
A E
Drive my truck midway to the motorway station
D E11 A
Fair-lane cruiser coming up on the left hand side
E
Headlights shining, driving rain on the window frame
D E11 A
Little young lady stardust hitching a ride
Chorus:
A E
And it's two four six eight, never too late
D E11 A
Me and my radio trucking on through the night
A E
Three five seven nine, on a little white line
D E11 A
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light.
Whizz-kid sitting pretty on your two wheels stallion
This old ten ton lorry got a bead on you
Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion
Ain't nobody got the better of you know who.
Chorus repeat
Well, there ain't no route you can choose to lose the two of us
Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong
No one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere
Gonna keep on driving on the road I'm on.
Chorus repeat ad infinitum.
